EMULATE the SUNFLOWER

A few posts back I wrote about our feelings yet again of moving and how we have felt that we needed to go back to Las Vegas. Ryan felt he needed to go back to school and felt that he should go back to UNLV. We  packed up our apartment almost 2 weeks ago and moved back into Ryan's parents house. I told my work that I was leaving and my last day was the 10th of June 2 weeks ago. I accepted a job in Las Vegas and would be starting the 27th of June. We made all the preparations with not knowing if we were accepted or not. We are happy to announce that after 6 weeks of waiting Ryan got his notice online on Saturday morning that they have accepted him to It's time for  Books, Studing, Papers, and Tests! I am not sure if I am ready for all of this again!!! I have been spoiled the past 3 years of having him home more and not work and school. At least it is only 15 months and it should go by fast. I am so excited for him to be going forward in his Education and get his Maste...

I remember when I was in 6th grade and thinking WOW that year went by REALLY fast!!! Then hearing my mother tell me just wait, each year will get FASTER and FASTER and FASTER. I was so little ( 11) at the time and the thought was too much to wrap around- NO WAY, time wont keep getting FASTER and FASTER but it really does! I CANT believe that it has been 8 years since I married Ryan in the Temple of my dreams and started down the path of being with him for ETERNITY. It just seems CRAZY! Ryan always does well for me in the ROMANTIC part. His boss at work dad owns a bunch of Hotels in the Seattle area so he was nice enough to get us a room at CEDARBROOK LODGE  I met him there from work and right when I get out of the car he hands me these! It was so NICE! It was so beautiful amongst all the TALL evergreen trees and all the Flowers! They had complimentary snacks, beverages, and icecream for the guests! Ryan was in heaven and LOVED the Hagen Das icecream, chocolate covered...

We have all heard and sang that song in church many times and I know I have found myself at times just singing the words and not really taking into the effect of what we are really saying. The past few years with all the changes we have done those words of the song have really began to hit me hard. AND yet AGAIN we have found ourselves YET again GOING WHERE HE WANTS US TO GO! I have talked a lot in the last few posts how the feelings and impressions we got in Septemeber of 09 to move to Washington have unfolded A WHOLE new meaning of why we were brought here. With that move MANY things have transpired for me and I cant even begin to express how thankful we both are. With this move it has not brought any openings for Ryan in either school or work. He felt the desire and feelings of the need to go to school but has not been able to find the right program or school to get into. He has had more than a handful of interviews BUT nothings has opened up for him. A few months back I had t...
